Abstract Background Cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) are recognized as the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. In recent years eating speed (ES) has been of particular interest since some studies have associated it with the development of obesity and CMD. However, the different impact of the ES at which main meals are eaten on the risk of developing these diseases has not yet been identified. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effect of ES at the main meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) on the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases (type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia and hypertension) in middle-aged Caucasian subjects with obesity. Methods For this purpose we carried out a cross-sectional, observational study. One hundred and eighty-seven middle-aged subjects aged 43.6 ± 16 years were enrolled of which anthropometric parameters and lifestyle habits were studied. A dietary interview was performed to collect information about meal duration and eating habits at the main meals. According to median value of meal duration, meals were classified in two groups: fast eating group (FEG) and slow eating group (SEG). Results The prevalence of dyslipidaemia was more than twice in FEG compared to SEG at lunch and dinner. For all main meals, FEG had a significantly higher risk of dyslipidaemia than SEG (p < 0.05) in unadjusted model. However, when the model was adjusted for age, BMI, physical activity, smoking and alcohol use and medication, the result remained significant for lunch and dinner (p < 0.05). Conclusion The results of our study suggest that fast eating increases at lunch and dinner increase the risk of developing dyslipidaemia in obesity.

Effects Of Aging

Arterial baroreflexes contribute importantly to blood pressure regulation through their influence on parasympathetic outflow to the sinus node and sympathetic outflow to the peripheral circulation. Baroreflex control of heart rate is known to be diminished in older individuals. Whether advancing age is associated with a parallel attenuation in baroreflex control of sympathetic outflow to the peripheral circulation has not been studied in humans. To provide such information, we made direct measurements of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in healthy males who ranged in age from 18 to 71 yr. The subjects were arbitrarily divided into three groups: younger (18–34 yr; n = 35), middle aged (35–50 yr; n = 15), and older (51–71 yr; n = 16). Although basal levels of MSNA were higher in older subjects than in younger and middle-aged subjects, the gains of baroreflex control of MSNA were the same in the older, middle-aged, and younger subjects (-4.6 +/- 0.6, -4.8 +/- 0.9, -5.1 +/- 0.5 U/mmHg, P greater than 0.10). In contrast, the gains of baroreflex control of cardiac intervals were attenuated in the older and middle-aged subjects compared with the younger subjects (9.8 +/- 1.2, 13.6 +/- 1.4, 21.7 +/- 1.3 ms/mmHg, P less than 0.05). Our data indicate that although the parasympathetic component of the arterial baroreflex becomes impaired with advancing age, the sympathetic component can be well maintained in healthy individuals even into the seventh decade.
